Shin Jae-pyung and Lee Jang-won both graduated from the Department of Computer Science at KAIST.
[1]
The duo met as members of KAIST's Folk Club and Rock Club. Originally, Shin Jae-pyung was part of a pop band, while Lee Jang-won was part of a folk band.
[2]
Lee Jang-won's band then was named "Triangular Rice Balls and Konjac Jelly" (三角 주먹밥 과 菎蒻젤리) because he was eating just these two food items to save money to buy a guitar.
[3]
Their respective bands took part in KAIST's creative song festival, which Lee Jang-won's band won. Following that, Shin Jae-pyung's band recruited Lee Jang-won.

The band built its reputation by performing live in Hongdae clubs with Deb and Westwind, who played the guest vocal roles.

They released their first EP called
A Preview
in 2004 with the independent music label Cavare Sound. They were recognized by critics as the winner of the "Best Dance & Electronic Song" award for their song

from their first album
Colorful Express
(2005) at the 4th
Korean Music Awards
in 2007.

In September 2008, they moved to their current label,
Antenna Music
.

Colorful Express
(2005), they began singing on their own, with Shin mostly occupying the main vocal role and Lee as backing vocals.
Lee earned a Master of Business Engineering degree from KAIST's Business School and worked as an intern for
Mirae Asset Management
in late 2009. He is currently a doctorate student at KAIST's Graduate School of Culture and Technology.
